 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
Packit f4e178
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Packit f4e178
                            Preamble
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
Packit f4e178
at the mercy of those companies.  By contrast, our General Public
Packit f4e178
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
Packit f4e178
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  The
Packit f4e178
General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
Packit f4e178
software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
Packit f4e178
You can use it for your programs, too.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
Packit f4e178
price.  Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
Packit f4e178
sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
Packit f4e178
software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
Packit f4e178
that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
Packit f4e178
programs; and that you know you can do these things.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
Packit f4e178
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
Packit f4e178
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
Packit f4e178
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether
Packit f4e178
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
Packit f4e178
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
Packit f4e178
source code.  And you must tell them their rights.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
Packit f4e178
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
Packit f4e178
distribute and/or modify the software.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
Packit f4e178
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
Packit f4e178
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
Packit f4e178
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
Packit f4e178
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
Packit f4e178
authors' reputations.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
Packit f4e178
modification follow.

Packit f4e178
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Packit f4e178
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which
Packit f4e178
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
Packit f4e178
distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  The
Packit f4e178
"Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
Packit f4e178
on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the
Packit f4e178
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications.  Each
Packit f4e178
licensee is addressed as "you".
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
Packit f4e178
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
Packit f4e178
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
Packit f4e178
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
Packit f4e178
General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
Packit f4e178
other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
Packit f4e178
along with the Program.  You may charge a fee for the physical act of
Packit f4e178
transferring a copy.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
Packit f4e178
it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
Packit f4e178
1 above, provided that you also do the following:
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
Packit f4e178
    you changed the files and the date of any change; and
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
Packit f4e178
    in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
Packit f4e178
    with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
Packit f4e178
    third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
Packit f4e178
    that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
Packit f4e178
    third parties, at your option).
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
Packit f4e178
    run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
Packit f4e178
    in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an
Packit f4e178
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
Packit f4e178
    that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
Packit f4e178
    warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
Packit f4e178
    conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General
Packit f4e178
    Public License.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
Packit f4e178
    copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
Packit f4e178
    exchange for a fee.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
Packit f4e178
derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
Packit f4e178
the other work under the scope of these terms.
Packit f4e178

Packit f4e178
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
Packit f4e178
it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Packit f4e178
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
Packit f4e178
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
Packit f4e178
    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
Packit f4e178
    years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
Packit f4e178
    for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
Packit f4e178
    corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
Packit f4e178
    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
Packit f4e178
    corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This alternative is
Packit f4e178
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
Packit f4e178
    received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
Packit f4e178
modifications to it.  For an executable file, complete source code means
Packit f4e178
all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
Packit f4e178
exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
Packit f4e178
libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
Packit f4e178
file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
Packit f4e178
accompany that operating system.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
Packit f4e178
Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
Packit f4e178
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
Packit f4e178
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
Packit f4e178
the Program under this License.  However, parties who have received
Packit f4e178
copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
Packit f4e178
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
Packit f4e178
remain in full compliance.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based
Packit f4e178
on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so,
Packit f4e178
and all its terms and conditions.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Packit f4e178
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
Packit f4e178
licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
Packit f4e178
terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further restrictions on the
Packit f4e178
recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
Packit f4e178

Packit f4e178
  7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
Packit f4e178
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
Packit f4e178
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
Packit f4e178
address new problems or concerns.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
Packit f4e178
specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any
Packit f4e178
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
Packit f4e178
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Packit f4e178
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
Packit f4e178
the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Packit f4e178
Foundation.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
Packit f4e178
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
Packit f4e178
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Packit f4e178
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
Packit f4e178
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
Packit f4e178
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
Packit f4e178
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
                            NO WARRANTY
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
Packit f4e178
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
Packit f4e178
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
Packit f4e178
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
Packit f4e178
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
Packit f4e178
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
Packit f4e178
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
Packit f4e178
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
Packit f4e178
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
Packit f4e178
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
Packit f4e178
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
Packit f4e178
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
Packit f4e178
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
Packit f4e178
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
Packit f4e178
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
Packit f4e178
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
Packit f4e178
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Packit f4e178

Packit f4e178
        Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
Packit f4e178
possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
Packit f4e178
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
Packit f4e178
terms.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to
Packit f4e178
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
Packit f4e178
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
Packit f4e178
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Packit f4e178

    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
Packit f4e178
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
Packit f4e178
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option)
Packit f4e178
    any later version.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
Packit f4e178
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
Packit f4e178
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
Packit f4e178
    GNU General Public License for more details.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
Packit f4e178
    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Packit f4e178
    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston MA  02110-1301 USA
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
Packit f4e178
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author
Packit f4e178
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
Packit f4e178
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
Packit f4e178
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
Packit f4e178
appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the
Packit f4e178
commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
Packit f4e178
c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
Packit f4e178
program.
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
Packit f4e178
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
Packit f4e178
necessary.  Here a sample; alter the names:
Packit f4e178
Packit f4e178
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
Packit f4e178
  program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes
Packit f4e178
  at assemblers) written by James Hacker.
